Podcasts about Minnesota

One of the biggest lessons from the clash between ICE and the citizens of Minneapolis is that communities are prepared to stand up for their neighbors.When Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU Nurse, became the second person killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, citizens were there to document the killing. Today, we're exploring how Minnesotans trained for this moment and how, despite deep cultural divides between them, they stood together in the face of government aggression.Brittany is joined by Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic, to unpack his time on the ground with communities in Minneapolis and the role of bystanders in these moments of state violence. For more of Adam's reporting from Minneapolis, read his latest piece, "Minnesota proved MAGA wrong."Support Public Media.

Minnesota is unwell right now. There's so much happening there that we just need to start again, including: The “bananas and rice” woman got arrested, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's wine company got scrubbed from the internet, and Rep. Amy Klobuchar (D) thinks she'll be the white savior for the state. New footage gets released of the Left's hero Alex Pretti, which puts an end to the narrative that he was just a peaceful protester. The fake news media at it again: CNN held a phony town hall featuring leftist activists. We might finally get some answers about the 2020 election because the FBI executed a search warrant on a Georgia elections office. A man cosplaying as a woman has a massive meltdown after being called a man by a reporter.    ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1   Sponsors:   ► Joi + Blokes Go to https://www.JoiAndBlokes.com/GONZALES and use code “GONZALES” for 50% off your labs and 20% off all supplements.   ► BlazeTV  Subscribe today and save $20 with promo code SARA at https://www.blazetv.com/sara.   Timestamps:00:00 – ‘Bananas and Rice' Woman Arrested 5:30 – Ilhan Omar Cleans House9:36 – Amy Klobuchar's Comedy Act 13:19 – New Footage Exposes Alex Pretti 23:14 – Fake News 33:35 – FBI Investigates 2020 Election 44:49 – Cosplaying Man Has Meltdown Connect with Sara on Social Media: https://twitter.com/saragonzalestx https://www.instagram.com/saragonzalestx http://facebook.com/SaraGonzalesTX ► Subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sara-gonzales-unfiltered/id1408958605 ► Shop American Beauty by Sara: http://americanbeautybysara.com Sara Gonzales is the host of Sara Gonzales Unfiltered, a daily news program on Blaze TV.

Protests and skirmishes between Minnesota residents and federal agents are still ongoing after the second shooting of a US citizen in Minneapolis this month. Thirty-seven year old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was killed by Border Patrol agents while filming immigration operations in the city. Following a weekend of inflammatory comments by DHS secretary Kristy Noem and other members of the Trump administration, the president has looked to turn the temperature down. He deployed ‘Border Czar' Tom Homan to take command of operations in Minneapolis. The experienced immigration official acknowledged that “certain improvements could and should be made” to immigration enforcement in the area. But Homan insisted that more cooperation from state and local officials would be necessary before a reduction in federal presence.  It remains to be seen whether the tonal shift or any changes in operations will be effective in the Twin Cities region. The situation has raised concerns among Congress that legislative action may be necessary. Senate Democrats worked toward a deal with the White House to avoid a government shutdown over DHS funding. While some initial framework has been drawn up, the two sides will continue negotiating new guardrails for ICE and Border Patrol. Will Congress step up for a rare check of the Oval Office?Plus, we'll answer listener questions about where executive power and America's position as a world leader stand after a tumultuous start to 2026.

Donald Trump says God is proud of him. During a bizarre, softball-filled press appearance marking his first year back in office, Trump claimed divine approval for his presidency—offered without evidence or irony. We unpack the religious delusion, the collapse of press accountability, and what it means when a sitting president openly frames himself as God's chosen leader. Beyond Trump, we take on a parade of church–state absurdities: Florida prisons ban the Bhagavad Gita for being "written in code," Oklahoma sheriffs tout Christian jailhouse conversions until lawyers step in, and a Texas county installs a Ten Commandments monument to dare the courts to stop them. We also cover Catholic leaders warning that U.S. foreign policy has lost its moral compass, new Pew data showing Catholicism rapidly declining in Latin America, and a sharp debate over protesters disrupting a Minnesota church linked to an ICE official—forcing the question of where religious freedom ends and accountability begins.

It is very unclear what is going on between Washington and Minnesota right now. A few days ago Tim Walz compared ICE officers to Nazis, then he turned around and worked with them, so naturally we brought in Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan to explain reality. Daily Wire reporter Jennie Taer joins to share what she saw on an ICE ride along in Minneapolis amid the protests, and the guys also get into all the Oscar movies you have not seen, and neither have we.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, you might also dig the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s an episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8 1.) A Shattered Narrative Much of Hour 1 centers on new and damaging video evidence involving Alex Pretti, an anti ICE activist whose death during a confrontation with federal agents sparked nationwide controversy. Clay and Buck argue that the newly surfaced footage—showing Pretti screaming obscenities at ICE officers, spitting on them, and vandalizing a government vehicle days before the fatal incident—fundamentally undermines the media narrative portraying him as an innocent bystander or heroic humanitarian. 2.) Media Myths Collapse Again Throughout Hour 2, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton repeatedly draw parallels between the Duke lacrosse scandal and the current media portrayal of Alex Preti, arguing that both cases reflect a pattern of myth making, presumption of guilt, and moral panic when stories fit a preferred ideological script. They emphasize how contradictory evidence—such as alibis, video footage, or witness testimony—is often ignored until narratives collapse, at which point institutions quietly move on without accountability. The hosts also argue that social media has fundamentally changed this dynamic, crediting Elon Musk’s acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) and the rise of alternative AI tools like Grok for weakening centralized information control and allowing inconvenient facts to surface more quickly. 3.) Elon Musk, Genius The latter half of Hour 2 blends cultural commentary and lighter banter with ongoing political themes. Clay and Buck react in real time to being retweeted by Elon Musk, discussing the influence of X, AI, and tech consolidation on the future of information and public discourse. They also touch on breaking reports that SpaceX and xAI may be moving toward deeper integration, framing it as a potential seismic shift in technology, media, and artificial intelligence. 4.) Homan Takes Control Clay and Buck play multiple clips from Homan and praise his calm, data driven approach, highlighting his confirmation that Minnesota authorities will now notify ICE when violent criminal offenders are being released from custody so federal agents can assume responsibility. The hosts frame this as a strategic win that prioritizes public safety while making enforcement operations more targeted and less dangerous. They emphasize Homan’s repeated message that while criminals remain the top priority, no one who entered the country illegally is “off the table” for deportation, warning that signaling immunity for non violent illegal migrants would only encourage further unlawful entry. Throughout Hour 3, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton argue that Homan should remain the primary public face and operational leader of deportation efforts, crediting his decades of experience and ability to clearly explain enforcement realities while exposing what they describe as obstruction from sanctuary style jurisdictions. The hosts contrast cooperation in states like Texas with resistance in Minnesota and sharply criticize Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for advocating the abolition of ICE. Clay challenges Democratic leaders to articulate a specific numerical limit on illegal immigration, arguing that calls to halt enforcement ignore basic questions of capacity, sovereignty, and rule of law.

Financial Times U.S. national editor and columnist Ed Luce joins Preet Bharara to discuss the aftermath of the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti by border patrol agents and why this might be an inflection point for Trump. Preet and Ed also make sense of the cowardice on the part of leaders and institutions in standing up to Trump and what it will take for them to speak out publicly against the president. Then, Preet answers your questions about a leaked ICE memo claiming agents can enter a target's home without a warrant and whether a Canadian could become president if Canada became the 51st state. In the bonus for Insiders, Ed and Preet discuss why we might be living in, what Ed calls, the mother of all teachable moments.

Alex Pretti was carrying a permitted gun when he had a confrontation with federal agents who ultimately shot and killed him. While the Trump administration pointed to his gun as a reason for agents to fear for their safety, pro-gun groups argued Pretti had a right to carry. We discuss the rhetoric around guns and how marginalized communities in Minneapolis have been increasingly turning toward gun ownership.This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef, and senior political editor and correspondent Mara Liasson.This podcast was produced and edited by Lexie Schapitl and Bria Suggs.Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.Listen to every episode of the NPR Politics Podcast sponsor-free, unlock access to bonus episodes with more from the NPR Politics team, and support public media when you sign up for The NPR Politics Podcast+ at plus.npr.org/politics.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Stu reads a list of detainees the media have claimed were murdered by ICE, but the facts of each death tell a different story. Glenn and Stu discuss the recent incident where Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) had a liquid thrown on her and the potential political leanings of the attacker. Glenn speaks on the importance of not becoming a mouthpiece for any one side and of sticking to your principles.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Alex travels to Minneapolis to see first hand how the community is responding to the terrorizing presence of ICE and the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. She shines a light on the grassroots efforts of mothers mobilizing to help both students and teachers who fear being targeted, and speaks to Reverend Dan Johnson about how his congregation has been impacted as well the very un-Christian nature of this administration's tactics. Then Alex sits down with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to talk about how President Trump's rhetoric contributed to the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar, whether judicial interference can stop the federal government's overreach, and why access to voter rolls is an issue at the center of this crisis.

A man in Minnesota charged at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) during a speech and sprayed her with a liquid believed to be vinegar. But questions have been raised about the validity of this “attack,” particularly because it comes just two days after it was announced that Rep. Omar is being investigated by the DOJ. President Trump is already taking action to stop the chaos in Minnesota, but it's important that conservatives don't give in to the demands of unhinged liberals. Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) threatens to beat up Vice President JD Vance, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) says he will not enforce federal immigration laws.

Trump has decidedly built a white supremacist army within the government. And this was always the risk when the Department of Homeland Security was created after 9-11. Influential people warned at the time that our norms would not protect us against someone who was determined to violate them using DHS. At the same time, white people are putting themselves on the line in a way that is reminiscent of the abolitionists. Plus, some often overlooked elements of the Civil Rights Movement, Jared Kushner's offensive and absurd vision for a “New Gaza,” and the destruction of a jewel of journalism that was CBS.Snag the hoodie that will bring you comfort for life, the American Giant Classic Full Zip.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Alan Rozenshtein, Eric Columbus, and Molly Roberts for a deep dive into two of the week's big national security news stories:“Slipping Down the Slope.” Last week's killing of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has triggered what increasingly appears to be a national backlash against the Trump administration's immigration policies and ICE's violent tactics. Republicans and Democrats alike have been increasingly public in their criticism of the administration's actions—and, in particular, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—while state officials have begun exploring more legal avenues for pushing back against federal officials. The Trump administration, meanwhile, may be shifting tack, as it has replaced Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino with immigration czar Tom Homan on the ground in Minneapolis and adopted a more conciliatory tone. Is this a real turning point for the Trump administration's flagship policy? Or more of a feint?“Now We're Just Waiting on Artificial Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charisma.” Last week, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic released what it's calling a “constitution” for its premier AI model, Claude. The constitution seeks to instill a moral framework, value system, and even a personality in the AI model, taking an unprecedented step in both private AI governance and AI personhood. How does Claude's constitution factor into broader discussions about AI development and regulating how models should interact with users?In object lessons, Eric sticks to classic Rational Security orthodoxy by recommending an actual, physical object: his wife's beloved migraine-slaying device, The Tingler. Alan flagrantly violates the show's informal norms with a repeat recommendation—season 2 of The Night Manager (plus some unsolicited fawning over Tom Hiddleston). Scott, desperate for warmth, throws the rulebook into the fire with a double object lesson: 1) Metro's Fire Snake to satisfy your basic human need for fire, and 2) long underwear to satisfy your base-layer needs. And Molly restores order with a hat that truly captures how we're all feeling: America is in trouble, and we're tired.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

John Deere is also building a distribution center in Hebron, Indiana, according to a press release from the company. “In keeping with our strong tradition of building America, we are excited to announce plans to open two new U.S.-based facilities: a state-of-the-art distribution center near Hebron, Indiana, and a cutting-edge excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina, both set to open in the next year,” the company said.

The bank said it will match the government's $1,000 contribution to the newly established accounts for children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028 for all 165,000 U.S. employees. Additionally, the bank will enable its employees with children under age 18 to make pretax contributions to Trump accounts through payroll deductions. According to the Treasury Department's Office of Tax Analysis, a fully funded Trump account could be worth as much as $1.9 million by age 28, with lower-end returns approaching $600,000 over the same period. Treasury estimates the savings account would rise to between $3,000 and $13,800 over 18 years without contributions beyond the federal government's initial $1,000 deposit.

The deal, announced Monday by far-left Podemos and the Socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, represents one of the most sweeping amnesties in modern Spanish history, La Gaceta reports. According to party sources and reports from Cadena SER, the measure will be approved by royal decree at Tuesday's Council of Ministers. It bypasses ordinary parliamentary scrutiny and fast-tracks a policy that will undoubtedly have catastrophic, long-term demographic, economic, and security consequences. Under the plan, illegal immigrants who can demonstrate as little as five months of residence in Spain will be eligible for legal status. The regularization applies regardless of how they entered the country or whether they previously violated immigration or labor laws. The cutoff date for eligibility is December 31, 2025, meaning anyone already residing illegally in Spain before that date may qualify. Government estimates suggest more than half a million people could benefit, making this not an isolated humanitarian measure but a structural transformation of Spain's migration policy. Source: thegatewaypundit.com President of European Parliament Bans EU Nations from Purchasing Russian Gas Without Paying Commission to Third Party   the European Union is now banning the EU countries from purchasing discounted Russian oil and gas directly. Instead, the EU will force their assembly to purchase Russian oil and gas from India at a premium.  The EU is still buying Russian oil and gas; however, paying more, they believe, will work out better for them in the long-term.    European Parliament President Roberta Metsola made the announcement via X: [SOURCE] The actual target of this oil and gas ban is the nation of Hungary, who as a landlocked nation is dependent on the gas from Russia.  The EU ban expressly hurts the position of Hungary because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to kneel to the dictates of Brussels. Prime Minister Orban has vowed to sue the European Parliament over the ban. The lawsuit will likely be supported by other EU countries who understand the stupidity of paying India for what amounts to a brokerage fee to deliver the same oil and gas.

What We Know So Far We reported Tuesday evening about the bizarre attack on the far-left Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) in Minneapolis. As RedState's Susie Moore wrote, Omar was “speaking at a town hall event there when a man approached her and appeared to spray an unknown substance at her while pointing and yelling at her.” The man was quickly taken down by what appeared to be a security guard, and an apparently unharmed Omar initially moved toward the assailant and yelled angrily at him. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2016375584331354404?s=20 Kazmierczak, a 55-year-old Minneapolis resident, was arrested on January 27, 2026, for third-degree assault after spraying Omar with an unknown substance (reported to smell like vinegar) during a town hall event she hosted in Minneapolis. He shouted demands for her to resign, claiming she was “tearing Minnesota apart,” amid tensions over federal immigration enforcement in the area.  . Public records indicate Kazmierczak has been unemployed since at least 2017 (when he was receiving disability payments), has filed for bankruptcy, and has a history of two DUI convictions but no prior violent crimes. He has been married and divorced twice, but there are no verified links between his ex-wives and Omar. Some social media speculation has suggested connections—such as claims that he worked for Omar’s husband’s business partners or that an ex-wife supported Omar—but these appear unsubstantiated, with no supporting evidence in news reports or public records.  Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/mymomcare/status/2016495436018733441?s=20   President Trump Weighs In With a Highly Provocative Take Regarding the Spray Attack on Ilhan Omar Shortly following the attack, Trump was asked by ABC's Rachel Scott regarding whether he had seen the video. https://twitter.com/rachelvscott/status/2016365247817257360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016365247817257360%7Ctwgr%5E18f7c1027a366f0d59a4aaa3f423ebe67276fc1e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-weighs-highly-provocative-take-regarding-spray%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com How do we know it was staged 1. sprayed unknown liquid, keyword unknown 2. was it poison, was it a virus, etc. 3. why wasn’t everyone evacuated or contained in this location 4. why wasn’t poison control called, no hazmat suit people coming 5. why did she decided to continue with the townhall if she doesn’t know what the liquid was, she doesn’t want to be checked out.  Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar  https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/2016410811024216116?s=20  https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2016482991220851124?s=20 Soros-backed Philadelphia DA vows to ‘hunt’ down ICE agents: ‘We will find you’ https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/2016501035414466807?s=20   President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/AGPamBondi/status/2016585424840339831?s=20 https://twitter.com/MayorFrey/status/2016241048209518736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016299403230036327%7Ctwgr%5Ee97929c3cc41b95d49cf21728478f8315dc83629%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fx22report.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D28444action%3Dedit  They were stalling/lying.

Mike contemplates the hierarchy of American attention, contrasting the 50 million eyes on the AFC Championship game with the obscurity of the men leading the "Metro Surge" in Minnesota. Then, Ruy Teixeira (The Liberal Patriot) and Jesse Adams (The Ivy Exile) join for Not Even Mad. The panel debates whether the chaos in Minnesota is a strategic "theater" of enforcement or a policy failure that's alienating the very public that requested it. They also dissect Trump's Davos "Greenland" rhetoric—is it a serious expansionist play for America's 250th anniversary, or just a loud way to bully NATO into paying up? Plus, a blizzard of "Goat Grinders" covering the Dodgers' billions, the "black Jewish" reboot of Blue Bloods, and the pharmaceutical ads keeping broadcast TV alive.

" The lie is that cruelty equals strength... that harshness is required to be effective... and that suffering is an effective deterrent to immigrants."In this chat We are addressing the killing of Alex Pretti, the unrest unfolding in Minnesota, and what this moment reveals about fear, power, and humanity in America today.This chat isn't about outrage for outrage's sake. It's about the moral cost of violence, the normalization of cruelty, and the responsibility we share when grief is replaced by narratives and slogans.Friend, now is the time to chat candidly about immigration enforcement, due process, protest, and the danger of turning human lives into symbols instead of honoring their dignity. I'm asking us to slow down, sit with the weight of what's happening, and examine how empathy, justice, and moral responsibility must remain central to who we are, even in times of fear and division. We're chatting about:The death of Alex Preti and why grief must come before politicsWhat the Minnesota protests reveal about fear, power, and unrestImmigration enforcement versus human dignity and due processHow cruelty and intimidation are being normalized in AmericaWhy empathy and moral responsibility still matter in hard times This is not light listening. It's an honest chat about loss, accountability, and the kind of country we are becoming. Thank you for being here.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Alan Rozenshtein, Eric Columbus, and Molly Roberts for a deep dive into two of the week's big national security news stories:“Slipping Down the Slope.” Last week's killing of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has triggered what increasingly appears to be a national backlash against the Trump administration's immigration policies and ICE's violent tactics. Republicans and Democrats alike have been increasingly public in their criticism of the administration's actions—and, in particular, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—while state officials have begun exploring more legal avenues for pushing back against federal officials. The Trump administration, meanwhile, may be shifting tack, as it has replaced Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino with immigration czar Tom Homan on the ground in Minneapolis and adopted a more conciliatory tone. Is this a real turning point for the Trump administration's flagship policy? Or more of a feint?“Now We're Just Waiting on Artificial Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charisma.” Last week, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic released what it's calling a “constitution” for its premier AI model, Claude. The constitution seeks to instill a moral framework, value system, and even a personality in the AI model, taking an unprecedented step in both private AI governance and AI personhood. How does Claude's constitution factor into broader discussions about AI development and regulating how models should interact with users?In object lessons, Eric sticks to classic Rational Security orthodoxy by recommending an actual, physical object: his wife's beloved migraine-slaying device, The Tingler. Alan flagrantly violates the show's informal norms with a repeat recommendation—season 2 of The Night Manager (plus some unsolicited fawning over Tom Hiddleston). Scott, desperate for warmth, throws the rulebook into the fire with a double object lesson: 1) Metro's Fire Snake to satisfy your basic human need for fire, and 2) long underwear to satisfy your base-layer needs. And Molly restores order with a hat that truly captures how we're all feeling: America is in trouble, and we're tired.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
